drawings.

' This invention relate to certain improvements in shade'and curtainhangers and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel andimproved device of this generalcharacter which is adapted to be fastenedto the inner face of a window jamb or thelike so that the wood worksurrounding the window is exposed and which is of particularadvantagewhen such wood work is of"a high quality. I 7

Another object of the invention is to provide a novel and improveddevice of this general character Which affords aneffective mounting inthe roller of a shade and whlch is also provided with means wherebyeither a flat curtain rod or a round curtain rod may be readily andeffectively supported thereby. I g

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arrangement of the several parts of our improved shadeand curtain hangers whereby certain important advantages are attainedand the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise moreconvenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fullyset forth.

The novel features of our invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that our invention may be better understood, we will nowproceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a View in side elevation of a shade and curtain hangerconstructed in accordance with an embodiment of our invention.

Fig. 2 is a view in edge elevation of the device as disclosed in Fig. 1,the shank 12 being in section.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken substantially onthe line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

In practice two hanger constructed in accordance with an embodiment ofour invention are employed but as the same are sub- Specification ofLetters Patent.

stantially of duplicate construction it is believed that a detaileddescription andillustration of onewill sufiice for the purposes ofdisclosure.

- As herein disclosed a hanger constructed in accordance with anembodiment of our invention comprises a flat plate P of desiredconfiguration and dimensions proreference being had to theaccompanyingvided with a pair of spaced openings 1 through which screws or otherfastening elements may be directed for anchoring the plate P in desiredposition and preferably to the inner face of a j amlb of a window or thelike. The side marginal portion of the curtain rod of a type generallyemployed.

. The lower marginal portion of the plate P is providedwith anoutstanding fiat arm 4 perpendicularly related to the wing 2 and saidarm 4: terminates in an upstanding lug 5. The lug 5 is provided with anotch or opening 6 to receive a mounting of a conventional type asgenerally engaged with an end of a shade roller.

The upper end portion of the plate P is provided with an upstanding flatarm 7 terminating in an outstanding arm 8 substantially at right anglesto the arm 7 The free end portion of the arm 8 is provided with atransversely disposed depression or channel 9 preferably angular incross section and with which coacts the plate 10 secured to andoverlying the arm 8. The plate 10 is provided with achannel 11 alsoangular in cross section and in register with the depression or channel9 whereby an opening is afforded to receive an inner end portion of ashank 12, said shank 12 be ing angular in cross section so that the sameis held against rotation when in applied position. The outer end portionof the shank 12 is provided with an upstanding finger 14 or the likewhich is adapted to be disposed through an end portion of a roundcurtain rod of a well known type. With the use of our improved curtainand shade holder it is possible to support either a flat 7 From the"foregoing" thought to be obvious that a shade, and curtain hangerconstructed 1n accordance with our invention is particularly welladapted for use by reason of the convenience and facllity with wh ch 1tmay he as? sembled and operated and it will; also be] obvlous thatourlnventlon issn sceptlhle'of 1 some change and modification withoutdeparting from the principles and spirit thereofand for tliis reasonwedo not wishto be understood as limiting ourselves to the precisearrangenient and formation of the several parts herein shownin carryingout our invention in practice except, as hereinafter claimed.
